I really appreciate all for your contributions, actually this is the first time I open up to discuss or write on my business experience outside my immediate family, Lag was fun, I'm not trying portray any tribe to be wicked but this is my true life story, I grew up in Anambra, Enugu and PH, before I went for my national youth service there was noting like tribalism in my mind, my perception started charging from NAPIMS where I served down to street of Lag, although It didn't charge who I'm and the training I was imbibe with from my family, within those trying period two Yorubas worked for me a boy and a girl, sales girl and assistance, the boy especially was very jovial and nice, that was when I was in Obalende, he normally come to my house on Sundays and he's a Muslim, during their festival he will bring meat or fruit to me I also reciprocate during my, he was with me till the final day I left Obalende and assisted me to move my things to my new shop in Ajah, till today we still keep in touch, same with my friend Shehu, Shola who now work with Slot at Saka tinubu, VI, I was with Shehu last two weeks that I traveled to Lag we were together till after 11pm gisting, I promised him when I stabilize I will invite him, my experience I had didn't change the fact I meet, interact even dine with good Yorubas, I dated a Yoruba girl when I was serving, but seriously what I realized in Lagos there are tribal sentiments going on, the hate among major tribes is real in Lagos, I just pray God will heal us, I guess that's where our major healing will start as a nation, we really need to purge ourselves from Hate, Jealousy, marginalization etc, from my experience what ever God Almighty what you to be no amount of hate, marginalization from others can stop that, it can be delay but can never be denial, My journey to success just started, I'm very optimistic I'll get to peak of success ladder, my advise to tribal bigots reading my post the amount you wast thinking evil, hating, and wishing or planning evil against others please channel that to something more positive, use the time to make the world a better place, no matter the tribe, region, state you came from, we all will leave this earth one day and all be equal in eyes of God, we are in the world to love, live, leave good legacy behind.
To those struggling to succeed the road to genuine success is tough, it requires to identify who you are and what you want to be, never think what worked for me most work for you, destiny dissimilar, most important prayer over your dreams and assimilation, be determine, never give up hope even when things are not going the way you planned, be prudent with the little resources with you, don't wait till you make millions before you think on what to do, heaven help those that help themselves, you can start with little resources, with good management your business will be growing, when you start climbing success ladder don't allow your little success to get to your head, humble is the Key word. Almighty God will grant our heart desires the good ones.
Thanks all wish all blissful day!

This is the new look of my business in east

I didn't even stay up to 8months in my Ajah shop I had to relocate after the incident, I was scared of those criminals attacking me, I traveled to Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka and Enugu, I limited my choice to Awka, I saw a good location paid for it went back to Lagos to plan how to relocate, I had to move my furniture and fittings and other equipments to ABC haulage

True life story of young entrepreneur who migrated from Lagos to Anambra

I graduated from Unizik, and served in Lagos at NAPIMS Bayo-kuku, Ikoyi office passed out 2011, for months in Lagos no job, I had to use the little savings I had then to rent a shop at Obalende, during my days in high institution I trained in hardware and software maintenance also phone repairing, I started my business in 2012 repairing phones and laptops, I was staying in one room apartment at Ikoyi, as a graduate my business package was quite different, I had many customers from Ikoyi especially those along Awolowo road, my customers then comes from Lakki, VI, unilag, ajah etc within short period I started selling accessories, although the shop size was small, most times customers will be much waiting for me to attend to their needs, within short while I started selling phones, I relocated to Ajah 2 bed room flat owned by Igbo man, driving from Ajah then became very stressful for me, I had to leave my house before 5am to Ikoyi close around 9:30pm, get home 11am or to 12, sometimes when I'm driving home I will be feeling wobbly in middle of heavy traffic, my business was performing well but I was stressing myself.
In my business premise, it was just four shops, our landlady she's Yoruba , I noticed one of my neighbors vacated from his shop, it was remaining three of us one norther and a Ghanian both are fashion designers , I approached my landlady and told her that I'm interested to rent the shop, she said no, that she can't give her two shops to Omo-Igbo, I was like I told her what matters is prompt payment, she refused, I was managing the small space for months the shop was still empty because of ridiculous price she placed, one faithful day she called me and asked me if I'm still interested I said yes, we negotiated the price I paid her, I used one side for repair and the second for sales, I employed an assistance, I package the shop installed AC and my business was doing well, what I now noticed was my landlady started keeping malice, when ever I greet her she doesn't respond, I called her son and complained to him, he assured me to speak with his mum, honestly I didn't know the reasons why she started showing malevolent towards me, I'm not owing her of any bills, one day she called me and asked me to remove the AC I installed, which I did, still yet she wasn't satisfy, I started noticing white substance in-front of my two shops, I always pray over it and start my business, I had accident twice with my car, the last incident that happened the car airbags pulled out, I don't know how she got the information, my neighbor heard her soliloquising, that I will know the kind of person she is, she tried all she could to hurt me but she didn't succeed, what she did was to give me quit-notice, I had to vacate her shops it was a very big challenge to get shop around, I had to relocate to Ajah Oke Ire kekere, the landlord asked me to pay for three years I pleaded with him to reduce the price to two yrs he insisted for three yrs rent, since I was desperate my option was limited, I had to pay, fixed the shop tire, paint etc. business there was very slow for days no sale and repair, because of Ajah holdup majority of my customers find it difficult to come to my new location, my major problem there became hoodlums, where I relocated to was shopping complex, one day thieves came to our complex bugled all shops up stair including my, stole my goods left no trace crossword clue although the case was reported to police, we had to implore company security, not up one month they revisited, could you imagine that those security men were not aware, we had to lock them up, my experience there was terrifying all I labored for went down, I had to go to Ajah market to search for my goods, since police can't do their work, I placed my faith in God's hand, I went there the first day I didn't succeed, the second day I noticed two stands, their show glasses was stocked with Etisalat wireless modems, and they look like my, still skeptical not just me that sale modem, I was convinced when I saw my price tags in two different locations, I told one of the boys let me use ATM, I had to involve the police, they came there arrested them and move them to Langbasa police station, they confessed one guy sold the items to them, from their confession we were able to arrest they culprit, the boy is from Osun a hardened criminal he refused to name his gang members,for days the guy refused to confess, police release those guys without my consent, I had to inform my friend that work with force headquarter Abuja, he linked me up to SAS Ikeja,they had to rearrest those guys and move the case to Ikeja, the boy confessed said they are three gang members and they used charm that made the security men to dozed off, we recovered some Items and they paid for those that we couldn't recover, my neighbors were reluctant I had to do it alone.

Before then I've been reading developments in Enugu and Anambra state threads I had no option than to think east,
